Domino's Pizza Tracker

Now, if you order pizza online from Domino's, they have this really amazing new thing called the Pizza Tracker.

I ordered my food online, clicked the tracker link, and literally 1 minute later, my pizza is baking in the oven. No joke! 1 minute! I mean, sure, they could be lying and my dough is still sitting around on the counter, but why would do that? They still have a time limit to live up to.

Also, the fact that it says "patent pending" faintly on the tracker, makes me think that this is legit. Now I'm no expert on patents (although I do want to take the patent bar sometime this year), but anything that is patent pending sounds impressive to me.

Anyways, next time you're going to order from Domino's, check it out. It's kind of fun...in a loserish-I-don't-have-a-life-when-I'm-in-New-York kind of way.

I am a Domino's Pizza franchise owner and just added the Pizza Tracker technology at one of my stores. It is legit. The information that the tracker displays is based on things that occur at the store in real time. So when I make your pizza and clear it from the screen you now see that it is made. When the driver dispatches his delivery in the computer, you see that it is on the way to your house.

The DPT is a fraud. I ordered a pizza one night and it proceeded briskly through the DPT. After about 15 minutes it was out for delivery; however, after about an hour of being out for delivery I decided to check on my pizza. When I found my phone I had three messages from Dominos stating that they were out of deep dish and could not fill my order. On top of that the guy acted like it was my fault because I was not answering my phone. Why do I need to be accessible by phone when they have DPT. If DPT were legit shouldn't there be some message to say hey we can't make your pizza instead of telling me Jeff is putting my pizza in the oven and its out for delivery with Jay?

my pizza is on the being put into box thing, its been there sine 7:57, its now 8:13, it doesnt take 16 minutes to put a pizza into a box, o and while i was looking at the pizza tracker my pizza just went back into the oven, maybe it got cold from being in a box for 16 minutes? idk

Overall, I'm very impressed with the Domino's Pizza Tracker. It's not always perfectly accurate - a couple times it's gotten hung up and the food was delivered before the tracker indicated it was done cooking.

But what do you expect? Perfection? It isn't a diamond cutter - it tells us when our pizza will be delivered! It makes me laugh and I'll keep using it.
